Turk J Pediatr. 2005 Apr-Jun;47(2):173-5.

Abstract

Hereditary pancreatitis, an autosomal dominant disease, is the second most common cause of pancreatitis in children. Here we report a child with recurrent pancreatitis attacks and N29I mutation. Due to the increased risk of pancreatic cancer, taking a detailed past and family history and early diagnosis are important.
